So I am currently fitting the suspension, should I replace all the nuts and bolts for shiny new stainless items, will add a couple of days to the job or put the old ones back in with new nylocs?

If you remove rubber bushes on the front roll bars and replace them with rose joints
you will be in effect running a stiffer front end, as you turn in, the weight will be transferred over to the other side of the car more

in my limited experience of this chassis the amount of weightt transfer you feel ok with needs to be enough to get you around

big trafic island in the rain without under steer, this being combo off spring rate, pre load, roll-bar transfer, and some damping

dont just set the front end up in the dry, unless this is how you wish to use the car
